I got poison ivy real bad last year and couldnt fish for a few weeks. So i bought a wood burning kit to customize the cork rod handles on my spinning rods. It's become a new passion for me. Ive thought about laser printing, but i feel the hand burned look, even with imperfections, does the artwork more justice. Have you tried drawing straight onto the rod or burning a full design freehand before?
Hi! Wood burning is what I do. Freehand, no tracing or lasers. But I am not doing these cork handles. These are laser burned by JP Ross Fly Rods my art. But if you find me on Facebook, or check out my website (markusyk.com) you'll see that all I do is Freehand burning. It's the only thing I spend as much time on as I do fishing! I agree with you too, that by hand holds all the character that laser falls short of.
I have a question i fly fish for monster 12 to 14 inch bluegills how important is it to mach your rod wt. With your fly line wt. because i use a 11wt rod with 5wt line and i can catch 100 foot fly line into the backing with 4 hulls without making a whip cracking sound
So awesome! I'm honored to be part of this team.
Daaammmnnn those look amazing!!
